yes, the illegal man down field rule is only in effect on passes that cross the line of scrimmage
5 Yards
The distance is measured from the endline to the placeholder (the player who stands ands holds the ball for the kicker), and can be accurately estimated using the yardlines and hashmarks on the field.
100 yards endline to endline 48 yards across (up and down) 120 yards back of endzone to back of endzone
The longest NFL first down and goal distance is 99 yards. The goal line is located at the end of the football field, so it remains the same distance of 10 yards from the line of scrimmage regardless of the field position.
The area is 140 yards times 90 yards = 1260 square yards.A yard is three feet; a square yard is 9 square feetThe area of 1260 square yards is 1260 x 9 = 11340 square feet. if it is 140 yards long and 90 yards wide it will be 12600 sq yards and not 1260 sq yards and in sqauare feet it will be 113400.00000001134 square feet to know more visit assetventures and click on area convertorUmmmm.

You need to count and make sure there aren't to many players on the field. Also, you have to go 10 yards to get a first down; So if you are on a third down and 5 yards to go for a first down you would know you have 2 more chances to go 5 more yards.
After the ball is snapped (hiked), a running back will slip out of the backfield (he may throw a quick block to fake the rushers) to a spot still behind the line of scrimmage. 2-or 3 lineman will throw a quick block & then release their man (they are blocking) & slide out to an area still behind the line of scrimmage but in front of the running back. The quarterback drops back (all of this happens simultaneously) & tosses a short pass to the running back (who yells to the lineman that he now has the ball with some sort of signal, ie; "GO") who then follows the lineman down the field. The lineman must not go downfield until they hear the signal or they will be hit with a penalty for ineligible man down field.
It would then be third down with 2 yards to go.
That could mean a couple of things. On a pass play, offensive lineman (center, guard, tackle) are not allowed to cross the line of scrimmage prior to a pass crossing the line of scrimmage. This infraction is called ineligible man down field. On a punt, the only players on the punting team allowed to cross the line of scrimmage prior to the punt are the two players positioned on the end of the line. Should any other player except for those two players cross the line of scrimmage prior to the punt, the infraction is called ineligible man down field.
